“The mobile phone is the perfect user-centric device for authenticating employees, internet banking customers and citizens into your network and will replace the hardware token as the de-facto 2FA device.” Alan Goode: Author and Managing Director, GI.

> One Time Password (OTP) sent via SMS: SMS delivery of an OTP to a mobile phone - Soft Token: Software, usually a Java application, is downloaded and installed on a mobile phone to generate an OTP

“New mobile-only 2FA vendors are taking market share away from the two dominant 2FA hardware token vendors who are having to adapt to this challenge. The introduction of mobile 2FA is leading to new markets for authentication vendors hence the loss of market share should be offset by a bigger market for all. It is an exciting time to be selling mobile 2FA products and services.” Alan Goode, Author and Managing Director, Goode Intelligence
